AMRN's Q2 Earnings in Detail
Net product revenues from Vascepa, the company’s sole marketed drug, in the second quarter were $46.6 million, down 2% year over year.
U.S. product revenues from Vascepa totaled $36.5 million, declining 17% from the year-ago quarter’s level as rising generic competition continued to hurt sales volumes and price. The drug’s U.S. sales beat our model estimate of $35.5 million.
Product revenues from Vazkepa (Vascepa’s brand name in Europe) in the European market totaled $6.6 million, surging 85% from the year-ago quarter. Revenues in the rest of the world were $3.5 million compared with $0.2 million reported in the year-ago quarter.
Licensing and royalty revenues came in at $26.1 million in the second quarter, increasing 31% on a year-over-year basis. The increase was driven by the recognition of an upfront payment under the European licensing and supply agreement with Recordati, along with higher royalty revenues from partners.
Selling, general and administrative expenses remained almost flat year over year at $38.7 million.
Research and development expenses totaled $4.9 million, up 4% year over year.
Amarin ended the second quarter with cash and investments of $298.7 million compared with $281.8 million as of March 31, 2025.
Per management, the partnership with Recordati is expected to accelerate growth for Vazkepa across the European market.
The deal grants Recordati an exclusive license to market Amarin’s Vazkepa across Europe. In return, Amarin received an upfront payment of $25 million and is eligible to receive potential milestone payments of up to $150 million.
The deal with Recordati is likely to boost Amarin’s cash position.
Along with the Recordati licensing deal, the company initiated a global restructuring, which is expected to deliver approximately $70 million in cost savings over the next 12 months.
